Our first winter storm with significant snowfall for the season is in the books. The featured map presents an analysis of reports showing the heaviest totals approaching 4-5 inches in extreme northwestern Iowa with amounts quickly dropping off to the south and east. Much of the state picked up needed rainfall with half inch and greater totals common. The IEM generates featured analysis maps like these after snowfall events where totals were generally greater than an inch or two. The winter season sees other snowfall events that produce lighter amounts and are not included in this series for the season.
